If Obama wins NC by ten points, will the MSM narrative be that Hillary cut his lead |
|
down from 20 points, just as Obama did in PA (only they never mentioned that)? It will be very telling. The narrative coming out of PA was only that Hillary held on and won by "double digits" kind of. they never talked about the gains Obama made. It should be interesting to see if MSM at least tries to appear even handed or if they totally dis-out Obama

1. Then North Carolina won't count....except to see who the White Carolina voters |
|
voted for--cause that will count.
They will forget to include the Operation Chaos voters out of Hillary's tally, etc....
it will be pretty predictable coverage.

And since Obama's campaign has pushed early voting, particularly among college students, the exit polls will probably show him doing worse among white voters than he actually does.

2. The m$m is now saying Obama has to win both states by big numbers. |
|
Go figure. Last I heard, Clinton had to win every state by about 60%. Hmmm.

Then when he wins the nomination (as is virtually certain now) they can play it as a 15th round come from behind victory against all odds...
thats what "sells" and keeps people coming back for more, which unfortunately seems to be their only job now.

3. They'll try to keep the perception it's still even for ratings but |
|
from all the posts on the Supers being ready to move, maybe it's over next week anyway.

4. The MSM will try to spin this every way they can till November - |
|
They are USELESS.
If MSNBC was really a news organization they wouldn't have to show prison investigations 7 nights a fucking week.
Pat Buchanan???? REALLY????

7. As soon as Hillary gets a win the margins she was supposed to win by COMPLETELY disappear |
|
from media talking points. It's as if a parallel universe is created.
My guess is that some people will be talking about Obama losing his big lead in NC if he only wins 55-45. That will be the media narrative, the "He can't close the deal!" one.

8. MSNBC has been trying to spin this every which way .... |
|
CNN also --- note Jack Cafferty's nonsense, day in and day out the relentless attacks on Hillary Clinton -- as a lifelong Democrat, I find it impossible to vote for Barak Obama.
